<h2>\hspace</h2>


<p><tt>\hspace[*]{len}</tt></p>


<p>The <tt>\hspace</tt> command adds horizontal space. The

    length of the space <tt>len</tt> can be expressed in any terms

    that LaTeX understands, i.e., points, inches, etc. You can add

    negative as well as positive space with an <tt>\hspace</tt>

    command. Adding negative space is like backspacing.


<p>LaTeX removes horizontal space that comes at the end of a

    line. If you don't want LaTeX to remove this space, include the

    optional * argument. Then the space is never removed.</p>
